Usually if there is a movie that I must see in the theater I'll will try to go during the day if I can manage it a showing around noon is perfect because during the week is the least likely time for people to watch a movie.

Most theaters do not even employ full time ushers at most you'll see an employee come in every so often and check the back doors mainly to insure that someone is not sneaking others in.

If I owned a movie theater I'd have a cell phone/personal device checking area at the front and you'd have to check in your phone and it would be stored in secure cubby you'd get a ticket and turn that in to get your phone. I would also employ ushers and they would be required to make regular rounds(during peak hours they would stay inside each theater for the duration of the film) violators of the rules would be told to leave after one waring.No obstructive talking no cell phones no propping your dirty feet up on the backs of seats.The food and drinks would be a reasonable price and I'd serve beer.If there was a jamming device that only covered the inside of each theater I'd use them.A Faradys cage would be cost prohibitive even governments and large corporations only have fairly small rooms with a faradys cage built into them also it would not stop people from trying to text or simply texting and saving it hence my idea of a cell phone check service.The problem with jamming is that idiots would sit there and try to get past it even if there is no way they would still try.Removal of the phone from an idiots possession is the only way to keep them from using or attempting to use it.
